How to interrupt MATLAB TCPIP server

I'm writing a program to read data from device. The device is connected to one PC and I'm trying to read data from another PC. I'm using MATLAB TCPIP command (the PC which is connected to device is server, and another one is client). My problem is how to terminate the server tcpip connection if there is no any request from client side for given time period. The fragment of the program from server side is following:

while (1)

     tcpipServer_PV = tcpip('0.0.0.0',44001,'NetworkRole','Server')     
     fopen(tcpipServer_PV);
     PV_Temp = rand(1)                          % rand(1) as an example
     fwrite(tcpipServer_PV,PV_Temp,'double');

     pause(1);

end

You seem to be setting up the server each time through the loop, which is not efficient. You do not seem to be closing the server at the end of the loop, which is a problem.

Your code sample does not attempt to read from the client, so there is nothing there to interrupt.
